Lingtao Villa

"Boom"

With a loud noise, the servants who were working in the fields raised their heads nervously and looked around, while the guards of the villa rushed into the manor.

Lin Jiang was also awakened by the loud noise. Lin Jiang, who was angry about getting up, shouted angrily,

"Lin Baohua, what the hell are you doing?"

After shouting, he also rushed out of bed and rushed to the building next to him. When Lin Jiang arrived, the guards had already arrived and dragged a boy out of a smoking house.

The boy was scared at first, but then he struggled to rush to the smoking house, and shouted, "My alchemy furnace, my elixir, don't stop me."

Seeing this, Lin Jiang stepped forward and slapped him to the ground, shouting, "What are you doing, are you going to blow up my Lingtao Villa?"

"Sixth Uncle, my alchemy furnace, woo woo, my elixir"

The boy started crying directly, very sad, and Lin Jiang shook his head.

This is a poor child. His name is Lin Baohua. He is the son of the eldest brother Lin Shan. He is fifteen years old. Three years ago, his spiritual roots were not detected and he was destined to be a mortal.

However, Lin Baohua refused to accept his fate. He didn't know where he got to know that there was a kind of heaven-defying elixir called Kailingdan, which could help mortals without spiritual roots to open their spiritual roots.

He kept trying to make elixirs. He was like a demon in the mountain gate. Although he had no spiritual roots, he asked people everywhere how to make elixirs. So he was thrown to Lin Jiang by Lin Shan. Lin Shan had only one request, that is, don't let Lin Baohua starve to death.

Lin Jiang also felt that he would not starve to death in his place, so he didn't think too much and kept him. Who would have thought that he could do such a thing.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Take him out to sober up and see if there is a fire. If there is, put it out."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. Several guards took Lin Baohua out to calm down. There were also guards in the house to check. There was no fire, but a pill furnace exploded.

An hour later, Lin Baohua was brought back by the guards. He was not as excited as before. He bowed deeply to Lin Jiang and said, "Sixth Uncle, I was rude just now. I apologize to you."

"It's okay. Don't mess around anymore. I know Kailing Pill. It's a sixth-grade pill. Do you know what sixth-grade means? In theory, it can only be refined by an old ancestor who has reached the stage of God Transformation. Our father is only in the Golden Core Stage. There is not even one old ancestor who has reached the stage of God Transformation in the whole Yunzhou."

Lin Jiang said. The sixth-grade Kailing Pill is a legendary thing. It doesn't exist in Yunzhou at all. It's wishful thinking for a mortal to make Kailing Pill.

"Sixth Uncle..."

Lin Baohua frowned and looked like he was about to cry again. Lin Jiang suddenly felt a headache. No wonder he couldn't stay at the mountain gate anymore. He had a bad temper.

"It's useless to call you Sixth Master. Your Sixth Uncle is just a young cultivator at the second level of Qi training."

Lin Jiang blocked his mouth directly. If you can live for tens of thousands of years, when he cultivates to the level of transformation, he can also help you refine a spiritual pill. Now, he, Lin Jiang, is powerless.

Lin Jiang winked, and the guards understood and took Lin Baohua away to avoid him being an eyesore.

A month later, Lin Ying brought Lin Die to eat and drink again. Lin Baohua appeared again. This time he chose to pester Lin Die. At first, he wanted to discuss alchemy with Lin Die. When he learned that Lin Die could not make alchemy, he wanted to ask her where there was a good alchemist and wanted to learn from her.

This made Lin Die very annoyed. In the end, Lin Jiang asked the guards to forcibly take him away, and out of sight, out of mind.

"Baohua is so pitiful. His mother is just a mortal. She dreams of giving birth to a child with spiritual roots, but he, hey..."

"Spiritual roots are innate, no one can change it. Our aunts are all cultivators, don't they also have brothers without spiritual roots?"

"Yes, that's why he is pitiful. He was born in a family of cultivators. If he was born in a mortal family, he wouldn't have such thoughts."

Lin Ying and Lin Die looked at Lin Baohua's back and kept talking. Now there are more and more people in the Lin family, more and more cultivators, and more and more mortals. Mortals and cultivators are separated by a chasm. It is obviously the same sky, but it seems like two worlds.

Lin Jiang was indifferent to this. He was just a small shrimp at the second level of Qi training and could not change anything. Moreover, in his opinion, there were many mortals in this world. Who said that mortals must be miserable? It was better to recognize the facts as soon as possible and live happily for the rest of their lives.

In this regard, Lin Baohua was also lucky. With the Lin family as a big mountain, he could have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life. His starting point was already the end point of most mortals.

"I heard that Dad has given his sons and nephews a generation name?"

Lin Jiang changed the subject and stopped talking about Lin Baohua, so as not to make the atmosphere too bad. He talked about something happy.

"Well, it's settled. Starting from Baohua's generation, the fifteen characters Bao Changchao Chengcun, Ding Dongfu Gongguan, Guang Guohan Honghua will be used as the generation names."

"What about the people before that? Doesn't the eldest have several children?"

"Just change it. Lin Kewen will be called Lin Baowen now."

"That's fine. Fifteen generations can be used for a long time."

"It can be used for a long time, because Dad also ordered that the family tree will be divided into two books, immortal and mortal. People without spiritual roots can only be included in the mortal family tree, and they can't use generation names. Lin Baohua is at the mountain gate. Not only was his name removed from the family tree, but he was also called Lin Hua, not Lin Baohua."

"It's really cruel. Dad doesn't care about the father-son relationship at all?"

Lin Jiang sighed. This is really too cruel. Lin Batian also has several sons without spiritual roots. Doesn't there mean there is no family affection without spiritual roots?

Now he finally understands Lin Baohua's obsession. If he, Lin Jiang, grew up in this environment, he would also be obsessed.

"It is cruel, but Dad has no choice. Now that our Lin family has more than a hundred people, we have to concentrate resources and give priority to taking care of family members with good qualifications. Only in this way can we protect the family. All the families in Yunzhou do this.

Fifth brother, how do you think you have lived a stable life in Lingtao Villa all these years? It's all thanks to the protection of your family, otherwise the bandits from the outside would have looted your Lingtao Villa long ago.

So you should work harder on your cultivation. Our Lin family has only been in Yunzhou for fifty or sixty years, and Dad has conquered such a large territory. I don't know how many people he has offended. Without superb cultivation, how can you protect your wife and children..."

"Ahem, I get it, Third Sister."

Lin Jiang was helpless. Here she comes again. This Third Sister is good in every way, but she is a little long-winded. Just like an old nanny, she would educate him whenever she got the chance.

"Don't feel annoyed by my third sister. This is the truth. The family is now supported by my father alone. I am the only one in the second generation of the Lin family who has established a foundation. After establishing a foundation, I realized my father's difficulties."

Lin Die had a serious face. After establishing a foundation, Lin Batian loved her very much and let her take charge of part of the family's power. She realized how many external threats the Lin family had. Lin Batian conquered everywhere over the years and established the Lin family's business. At the same time, he also offended a large number of immortal cultivators. There were countless people who wanted the Lin family to perish.

"I know, I can't count on you, Lin Ying, you should work harder."

Lin Jiang nodded. Even if he was 996, it would be useless. He was the most useless five spiritual roots. His cultivation speed was destined to be slow. It was better to count on Lin Ying.

"Third sister, I will work hard. At most two years, no, three years, I can establish a foundation."

Lin Ying raised her little fist and said with a firm look. After getting along with Lin Die for a long time, she was also infected by Lin Die. She felt that the family's responsibility was on her shoulders and she would take up the responsibility of protecting the family in the future.

Lin Die shook her head in disappointment at Jiang Wu. This old man was really stubborn and indifferent to everything she said, just like a salted fish. But thinking carefully about the old man's spiritual roots, she sighed silently again.

Forget it, forget it, ignore it. Worrying too much will make you old.

Lin Jiang saw the change in Lin Die's expression and knew how Lin Die felt at the moment, but Lin Jiang did not explain too much. He naturally remembered the Lin family's protection in his heart. At worst, he could repay it later. According to his situation, he didn't believe that he couldn't build a foundation and form a pill after practicing for thousands or tens of thousands of years. When he became powerful, he could naturally protect them.
